Parents indicate a desire to be a head coach or an assistant coach during the spring player registration process

All interested parties are required to provide personal information for CORRI background checks at the time of registration

All prospective coach's data is provided to the respective division coordinator upon the close of registration

Division Coordinator reviews the list to ensure there are enough head coaches for the required number of teams based on the number of registered players

If there are more (or less) prospective head coaches than teams, the division coordinator talks to the prospective coaches to see if anyone will step back to (or up from) an assistant coach position

Once the head coaches are established, the division coordinator discusses each coaches preferred assistant coach

Solicit input from the WLL Board on candidates regarding issues, concerns or considerations

Division Coordinators are then required to submit the list of head and assistant coaches to the full WLL Board for approval

Criteria such as advanced playing experience, prior coaching experience, and/or past issues or complaints factor into the recommendation of the Division Coordinatoras well as the approval process by the Board

In those divisions which hold a draft (Majors, Minors, and International) only one head coach and one assistant are named prior to the draft. All other players are put in an open draft pool.
